My ex just told me

52 replies

(don't know if this should be here or lone parents)

But he just told me, that, as of today, he allows me to move on with my life.

Almost 3 years since we split up.

And he allows me to move on as of today.

Isn't that just great? I've been sitting waiting for him to give me his permission for all this time.

What a knob.

Hope you told him that whilst you had been moving on with your life since long before the divorce that you still hadn't given him permission to move on with his - that he needs to wait until until he can move on to give him time time to reflect on what a knob he is and how he made your life a misery (or whatever) and to do penance for that so hesitant go out and inflict his knob-ness on anyone else in the mean time.

:o

Gobsmacked that he is so completely off the planet, tbh! What A Knob, as you say.

Still - let's hope that means he doesn't plan to have any more contact with you (do you have DC with him though?).

Wow.

Bonus! so I suppose now you can have those rampant orgies on the weekends he has the kids, and a new boyfriend etc. now that he's given you permission? I can't believe you're not more grateful to him!

Tell him there must have been some confusion, you're really sorry and hate to be the bearer of bad news but you've actually already moved on. Quite a lot. Before the 'permission'. Sorry about that. A breakdown of the details of the moving on can be provided on request, but it's going to be a long read.

droves · 03/02/2012 13:27

HATHOR thats just another reason to be grateful ... you dont have to share your lovely comfy bed with the knobhead ex !

Grin

or the tv remote

or your air

Wink

LIFE IS GOOD !

hathorinareddress · 03/02/2012 13:58

I am an unrepentant bed hog.

My bed is a superking sized and I am not tall.

New BF was giving off stink the other night about freezing his arse off hanging out the side of the bed on about half an inch of mattress with no blankets.

I told him - my bed my rules. Grin Now, hurry the fuck up and make my cuppa.

Grin

And bless him, he did Grin and I did move over a bit and let him in beside me properly

I got a text yesterday.

"It's been a year. I miss you two."

Tempting as it was to reply and tell him that this has been the best year of my LIFE so far, I refrained.

Funny, I don't miss being called a whore , all the names under the sun etc. I don't miss wondering when he's going to strop off about something next.

Nor do I miss his jealousy over my relationship with our son. I don't miss the sight of my son's face when he realises daddy's not going to bother coming back from his mates/ringing him on his birthday... and that was the last year he'd have had with him in the same country.

I don't miss him telling my only friend's H that I'd been in a mental institute for 5 years, no not at all.

Who I do miss is the lovely chap I have come to know who is away on business and back next week. HIM, I miss. He's LOVELY! Wink

Let's raise a toast...

To the Wanker, Tossers and Twatfaces that we DON'T miss....

WaitingForMe · 03/02/2012 15:01

When I left my ex-husband I left the country for a while and he asked to take me out to dinner to say goodbye. As he still had a degree of control over me back then I reluctantly agreed.

On our "date" he gently told me that he understood that I felt the need to do this, to travel and find myself but that he knew we'd get back together one day.

I had to bite back the laughter.

But to be fair he said he thought it might take ten years and we're only four down so arguably I can't know for sure!

Thumbwitch · 03/02/2012 22:21

Yay Hissy! Glad you've someone nice on the go, so to speak! And you too, hathor :)

hathorinareddress · 03/02/2012 22:23

He's out with his mates tonight and has been sexting me. He thought I was going to drive to his and be there when he got in but he has two chances - some chance and no chance.

Grin

My bed is nicer and he'll be drunk and snoring - he can sleep it off on his own and get his arse up here tomorrow

Would I be unreasonable to phone him at silly o'clock for pure badness and tell him how very fond of him I am? Grin

lovesadirtylie · 03/02/2012 22:46

perhaps he actually means that he finally feels able to move on with his own life?

hathorinareddress · 04/02/2012 08:27

I would love to think that's the case.

But I'm pretty sure he means that he "allows" me to move on.

TantePiste · 04/02/2012 10:38

too funny. does he allow the earth to go round the sun, too? how about the tides? perhaps he could clarify for us his role there.

UnlikelyAmazonian · 04/02/2012 11:06

Grin at tantepiste and at SGB 's phrase 'apocalyptic knob'...that's just brilliant!

OP, I personally allow you to drop your knickers and moon at an old photo of this twunt.

madasa · 04/02/2012 11:33

I think it's outrageous that you moved on before you were given permission!

solidgoldbrass · 04/02/2012 11:42

I would just have pointed at him and howled with laughter TBH.

SinicalSanta · 04/02/2012 11:42

the arrogance. its the mismtch between his perception and reality thats so funny

hathorinareddress · 04/02/2012 12:13

He is totally arrogant.

Well, I think he is.

He, on the other hand, disagrees.

Grin at moon and allowing the sun to go round and the tides.
